Why Challenges Bring You Closer to God

This message explores what it means to truly know God, starting with Exodus 33:13, where Moses asks God to reveal His ways. Knowing God’s ways brings us into His presence, and that’s something many believers deeply desire.

Think of it like a mannequin in a store window—it grabs attention, but the real treasure is inside. God's works are like that: they invite us to experience more of Him. When we understand His ways, we step into His presence.

We also look at Joshua, Caleb, and the spies in the Promised Land. While most saw obstacles, Joshua and Caleb saw opportunity. Challenges aren’t meant to defeat us; they’re a path to growth. God often shows up in the midst of struggles, and those challenges become the spiritual bread that strengthens us.

Facing obstacles? They’re not there to stop you but to bring you closer to God’s promises. It’s in those moments that we truly come to know Him.
